What Sizes Are Actually Maine Lobsters?
Maine Lobsters, renowned for their sweet, succulent meat, are typically caught and sold within a specific size range, typically between 1 pound and 3 pounds. These lobsters are primarily harvested off the coast of Maine, where the cold, nutrient-rich waters contribute to their exceptional flavor and quality. Lobsters within this size range are considered ideal for a variety of culinary purposes, from classic lobster rolls to decadent lobster dinners.
Oversized Live Lobsters
For customers seeking larger lobsters, typically weighing over 3 pounds, Maine Lobster Now sources these oversized crustaceans from Canada. These North Atlantic live lobsters boast impressive sizes and are prized for their generous portions of tender meat. Sourced from the same pristine waters, these Canadian lobsters uphold the same high standards of quality and freshness that customers expect from Maine Lobster Now.
Whether you're looking for a modest-sized lobster for a cozy dinner or an oversized crustacean to impress at a special occasion, Maine Lobster Now offers a diverse selection to suit every preference. With our commitment to sourcing the finest lobsters from both Maine and Canada, customers can trust that they're receiving the best of the North Atlantic's bounty, delivered straight to their doorstep.
Maine Lobsters Nows In-House Lobster Processing
We made the decision to bring our lobster production in-house. Why? For quality and control. We recognize the prices customers pay on our website and are honored that our customer base chooses to invest their hard-earned money in our product. Over the past few years, we have expanded our warehouse to include a full Ready-to-Eat (RTE) production room dedicated solely to lobster production. This affords us a wide range of benefits, such as daily quality control checks, taste testing, and freezing using our nitrogen freezing tunnel. Most importantly, it enables us to provide fresh Maine Lobster Meat throughout the year, rather than just during periods of low price, when the majority of the market produces their meat products.
A Normal Day For Maine Lobster Now's Production
The cooker kicks on at 5:00 am, and our first batches of lobsters are cooked, cooled, and ideally picked before 10:00 am. We then portion out the necessary amount of fresh lobster meat for the day, place the meat in one-pound packages, vacuum seal, and label it. Any remaining product is then bagged, labeled, and run through our nitrogen freezer tunnel. We then take the freshly picked and packaged lobster meat directly to our cold storage packing line. Here, the order slips run through our packing line, and the correct amount of lobster meat is packed into the correct box, sealed, sent to FedEx, and enjoyed by our customers the following day.

Amazing!!
Delicious Dinner! This is the second time we have ordered lobster from you. The order process is easy, the lobsters arrived nicely packed. The kids at our party had fun unpacking them and prepping them for dinner. Once cooked, the lobsters were delicious and were the centerpiece of our Clam Bake!
I have been trading with Maine Lobster for 10 years now (?). I have never been disappointed. Raised in New England and living in So Cal I need a good lobster. I’ve purchased, lobsters, clams, mussels, snow crab, bisque and was only disappointed 1ce when UPS screwed up my delivery. Maine Lobster stood behind me.
I ordered 2 lbs of Lobster meat and appreciated it came in 1 lb packs not a 2 lb pack. This is always my preference going forward not a 2 ln pack which is not convenient.
I ordered lobster dinners with all of the fixings for my son’s 40 birthday in Montana! Even when there was a delivery issue, the Maine Lobster rectified it immediately! Everything was delicious and perfect for days!
The very best clams and the very best service!
This was a gift in celebration of my 70th birthday. I was amazed at how quickly they arrived and how meticulously they were packed
I followed the video when cooking them and did put them in the freezer first for about 30 minutes I also put them on ice when they came out of the pot They were delicious and so fresh
Highly recommend both for culinary enjoyment and customer service
Steamers are my absolute favorite and living in California I have nothing that compares out here. I took a chance and ordered 3 lbs from Maine Lobster company and was blown away by how fresh, large and juicy these clams were. OUTSTANDING! I'll be back for more!
I fell in love with lobster rolls on my visit to Maine and wanted the ability to have them at home in Florida. I found this company on the web and their site made it easy to order. I received the order on the day requested, still completely frozen. I was able to cut a one pound block into 4 portions and vacuum seal the orders. My first attempt at lobster rolls came out good and I'm sure my next will come out better. Meat was very flavorful and in good chunks, not shredded.
Absolutely delicious. Easy to make. Will def order again!
Delicious shrimp, very big, 29 shrimp in 2 lbs, we put them in a boil and again, Delicious shrimp i would absolutely buy again.
These were SO GOOD!
Ordered lobster knuckle/claw and snow crab claws. Everything was perfect! Couldn’t be happier. Shipping was timely. While experience was easy and worth the cost!
When our traditional source for shipping lobsters to Pennsylvania said they only sold locally they recommended Maine Lobster Now. The experience was superb from start to finish. We received regular updates on the order and the delivery was at the time promised. The lobsters were well packed hard shells, and absolutely delicious.
I have utilized this company for years and am never disappointed!
